![]() ![]() Me? I'm not so sure, but I'll throw that out here for consideration. This entire time, I was sitting at "Friendly" with the Empire as a whole.Į) It has been surmised by some players that if you do missions for a minor faction that is not aligned with the controlling faction for a station, then you make greater reputation gains both for the minor faction and the associated major faction. Before that, I had been trade grinding for my Clipper out of stations that made me allied with only three different Empire sub-factions, so I wasn't hitting the threshold needed to tell the RNG gods to make with the "Baron" opportunity. As soon as I experimented with consciously raising my reputation for three entirely new minor factions in the Empire that I hadn't yet done missions for, within just a couple hours my "Baron" mission finally popped. For example, I was stalled out at "Lord" rank in the Empire navy for a long time. The bottom line is simple: STOP ranking up a minor faction after you hit ALLIED, and go find _other_ minor factions that you haven't ranked up yet. BUT ONLY TO A POINT! Basically, once your minor faction's visible "band" hits ALLIED, either it completely stops contributing to the major faction's reputation gain or at the very least tapers off to a much flatter slope of improvement. Even after paying the fines, you might need to relog before you see your reputation restored correctly.ĭ) Every blue "up" arrow for a minor faction at mission completion also contributes to a positive improvement for the minor faction's associated MAJOR faction. PAY YOUR FINES PROMPTLY, and don't freak out when you see a huge reputation swing: it might simply be temporary until you pay off the fines. ![]() Of special note: smuggling illegal goods or shooting at a "clean" target can cause a HUGE reputation drop if you don't pay the associated fines on time! (For example: Why is it so easy to ruin your reputation?). You can dig yourself a hole that will take a _very_ long time to crawl up out of. If you botch one mission or inadvertently do anything to cause a red "down" arrow for a faction, it takes multiple blue "up" arrows to eventually compensate for the loss. ![]() ![]() At some point, your MAJOR faction growth will stall out unless you increase reputation with _more_ different MINOR factions.Ĭ) It's _far_ easier to lose reputation than to gain it. I found this while searching for more info on Rep grinding.Ī) Your rep with each MAJOR faction relies on the cumulative growth of your reputation with multiple MINOR factions.ī) It's not enough to become "Allied" with just two or three MINOR factions. ![]()
